Ruby's Cottage is a delightful Grade II listed holiday cottage which is part of a former mill on the outskirts of the attractive old market town of Sedbergh. It is the perfect base from which to explore both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales and is conveniently located just five miles from the M6 Motorway where these two popular tourist destinations meet.
Although in Cumbria, Sedbergh is officially in the western fringes of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, making all the attractions of both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales within easy reach. It also has the added bonus of having the 'Howgills' (the surrounding fells that Wainwright called the 'Sleeping Elephants') on the doorstep.
This quieter area is more akin to Lakeland but with very good access to the Yorkshire Dales, the nearest being Garsdale, Dentdale and Wensleydale. For the dedicated walkers amongst you, Ingleborough, Whernside and Penyghent are close by and the 'Howgills' are on the doorstep just waiting to be explored from the cottage. There are also beautiful less strenous low level walks by four rivers - the Rawthey (50 yards from the cottage), the Dee (Dentdale), the Clough (Garsdale) and the Lune, all set amongst magnificent scenery. For those who enjoy fishing, you are able to purchase a fishing permit locally.
The Eastern Lakeland fells (Haweswater, Ullswater, Pooley Bridge, Askham, Martindale etc...) are just a thirty minute drive away. When you have exhausted all the local area then the Lakes and Dales Tourist Information centre in the town offers a whole host of Visitor attractions for both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales including: National Trust Craft Centres Gardens; Castles Leisure Centres; Houses; Riding; Canoeing; Fishing; Cycling; Mountain Climbing; Cafes, Restaurants and Pubs and as previously mentioned wonderful walks for both the experienced and the beginner.
Sedbergh with its olde world atmosphere, is the largest market town in the Yorkshire Dales. The town is full of character with its historic houses and cobbled streets and has a wide range of shops, eating establishments and amenities for every day needs including a Farmers Market on a Wednesday once a month offering wonderful local produce.
Whether you are looking for a place to simply relax or a base to explore this wonderful area, Ruby's Cottage will offer you a memorable holiday.
